Chapter 5

The night of the ball had come to soon for the Slytherin prince. His Narcissa was now the light of his life. She was his Princess.

And that night words could not describe her beauty it was like nothing ever before. She was wearing blue robes that showed she was a girl. Her body's best features were shown off to no end and the worst features…………well to his eyes there were none.

"You're stunning," he told her pushing his lips gently against her hands.

"Thank you and you look indescribably handsome tonight,"

"Thank you," he said gentlemanly. He was a true gentleman she thought. He offered her arm to her when ever they were near to each other or put a protective arm round her waist. But then again, maybe he thought that he owned her. He didn't own anything about her, except her heart.

Dinner was more delicious than ever. Bella and Rodulphus ate with and it was very pleasant.

Soon after that the dancing began and Lucius hardly let Narcissa sit down or have five minutes to her self not that she minded. Soon though Bella wanted a dance andNarcissa went to get a drink.

"Tomorrow you are goingtoo let my sister down gently Lucius." said Bella maliciously.

"That's what you think!" he replied.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I'm not dumping her."

"Yes you are or I'll it do for you!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

"You'll see. Dump her, or your relationship will come to a sticky end Lucius. Don't tell me the great Lucius Malfoy has gone soft!"

AT THE DRINKS TABLE…

"Thank you," said Narcissa politely to the witch who had been serving her. She sat down and looked at her boyfriend and sister dancing. They were talking, about what Narcissa didn't know.

"He'll hurt you," she heard and turned to see her eldest sister and cousin who were both seventh years. Andromeda was a Ravenclaw and Sirius, a disgusting Gryffindor.

"Go away!" she replied.

"NO. Cissa, she's right! Sirius pleaded. "You know she is right!"

"He wouldn't do that to me," they all knew who he was by now. "He-"

"What does he do Cissa?" mocked Sirius. "Does he love you? Of course he doesn't! The only women he ever loved is his mother and you will not change that!"

"Shut up!"

"Cousin, I am begging you! Don't be a fool all your life!"

"You know nothing about him!"

"You're just the latest in a long list of girls. He doesn't care about you!"

"YES HE DOES!" she said and ran out the hall crying. Her cousin words had hurt because it seemed they were confirming her worse fears. The whole hall was silent.

"What did you say to her?" demanded Lucius.

"Nothing that wasn't true!" replied Sirius watching the blonde run after Narcissa.

He found her sitting by the lake upset. She was even more beautiful when she cried. Her crystal blue eyes shone with tears.

"There out of order, Lucies," she told him.

"What did they do?"

"They said I couldn't trust you, that you'd hurt me. That you'd never love me." she said. He was taken back by this. Did he love her? Yes! Did he want hurt her? Never! But could she trust him? No.

"Then they are wrong aren't they?" He said tucking a blonde ringlet behind her ear. Lying to her was becoming too easy. Why didn't he tell her about what had happened? The answer was easy. That ran the risk of losing her, a chance he was not willing to take.

She smiled shyly at him. "I guess so."

"They are wrong," he said.

"They know nothing about us."

"That's right. Stand up, Narcissa," he said offering her his hand.

He snaked his arms round her waist and they looked at the stars together.

"Draco's shining brightly tonight," she commented.

"Yes, it is," he agreed looking at the constellation.

"You know what, Lucius? I have always wanted my first born to be called Draco. Rolls of the tongue, doesn't it?" she said looking at his face.

"Yeah," he said touching her cheek as she rose to kiss him and she did, she really did.

He explored her mouth with every part of his tongue. She turned in his arms and they kissed under the shining moon until she shivered.

"It's cold."

"Take this," he said removing his cloak and wrapping it round her. "If we fall in love tonight, there's no going back."

"Good," she whispered as they walk back to the castle.

"How about we skip the ball and just go on to the common room?"

"I'd like that," she smiled.

But they didn't. They went straight through to Lucius room. It was big and comfortable. But it was obvious a boy lived here. Underwear on the floor. Quidditch poster's on the walls.

"I'm only human," he said trying to pick his underwear up trying to make sure she didn't see. "My house elf should have done all this."

"You have your own house elf in school?"

"Of course I do, I'm a Malfoy aren't I?"

"I guess so."

They talk till gone midnight.

"Are you staying tonight?" he asked bringing up an inevitable conversation. They both wondered this.

"Would you like me too?"

"Yes, I'd like that very much," he admitted.

"The thing is I don't think I'm ready-you know- to do it," she said embarrassed.

"That's ok, you could just come in with me," he suggested.

"Yes I would really like that Lucius."

"Go on then," he said throwing her a shirt. "You can sleep in that, go change in my bathroom."

With in ten minutes the only light in the room was the moon light. Narcissa lay next to Lucius in his shirt and her underwear. She looked at him but looked away embarrassed when he noticed her.

He lifted his arm from his side and looked at her expectantly. On queue she snuggled in to him.

"Oh my god," said Narcissa. "We've falling in love haven't we?"

"I think so, but that isn't such a bad thing, is it?"

"No, actually I think it's a good thing," said Narcissa.

She rested her head on his chest and was asleep with in minutes.
